According to the Buddha, every living being—from the smallest insect to every human being—possesses the potential to attain full enlightenment. This innate capacity, known as buddha nature, is the foundation of the entire Buddhist path. Some masters describe it as our deepest potential for awakening, while others point to our universal wish for happiness and freedom from suffering as evidence that this potential already exists within us.

In this evening class, Khen Rinpoche will explain the meaning of buddha nature according to the Buddhist tradition, showing why recognizing this inherent potential is so important for our spiritual practice. Whether you are new to Buddhism or have been practicing for years, this inspiring teaching will deepen your confidence in your own capacity for awakening and encourage you to engage the path with greater courage, joy, and purpose.
